As cars step-up in technology so does the speed of each and every vehicle, but why does this happen? I mean there are literally a huge amount of laws around which state high speed driving is illegal, but still manufacturers create cars that travel fast. Lets take a quick look.
Government Money
What a better way to acquire money from the population by fining them for driving too degraded on places like the superhighway. The government in every land make billions of pounds every single year by fining people for breaking the speeding boundary, would it not be easier to alternatively limit these cars so they cannot go at high speeds, this would also help save lives.
The Sale
Manufacturers know that they need to appeal to the wide population of people. Most drivers, particularly males love to drive quick cars. They also love to have fast acceleration speeds as well. So the manufacturers have to cater for these people. Can you conceive of if the Ferrari decreased their speed of their automobile? I mean the company would in all likelihood end up going out of business the very next twenty-four hour period.
All in all I think creating cars to go faster then they need to be a ridiculous idea, I mean most countries in the world now have a speed limit of around 70MPH. Would it literally not be more effective confining these cars to a certain speed level and having authority figures such as Police force cars be able to go past it. This would not only signal an end to high speed car chases, but it would also help save hundreds, if not thousands of lives every single year.
This will never occur though as the globe is more interested with making money, rather than caring for society.
